Dundas Dream. This circa 1880 character cottage, located in the heart of the Cross-Melville heritage district, is walkable to everything. Storybook curb appeal with beautiful perennial landscaping is unassuming from street level with a two full stories in the rear. Private "forest" on a 72' double wide lot, featuring a sunken garden and inground, heated saltwater pool surrounded by lush ferns, hostas, peonies, rose buses, hydrangeas and Japanese grasses. This tardis of a home is much larger than it appears with over 2,600 sqft of finished living space. Professionally renovated to the studs in 2023 to reimage the layout and living space. New HVAC, wiring, footings, support beams - everything! Unique reverse bungalow layout with main level living and lower garden level bedrooms, all above grade. 4 beds and 4 baths (2 half). The primary has jack and jill 5-piece bath access and a large WIC. One bedroom has custom built-ins with a closet and desk. The remaining two bedrooms share a WIC in their own "wing." Additional storage via a large custom hallway built-in featuring double closets and a bench with hooks. There's even secret storage under the newly constructed, heritage style, staircase. This home is not to be missed. Loads of charm and character from rustic pine plank floors, salvaged brick floors from the old Grafton building, antique mantel with ornate cast iron insert, beamed ceilings, matching regency chandeliers imported from Chicago, and so much more. Brand new kitchen with quartz countertops, 14ft vaulted ceilings, walk-in pantry with bar sink, and garden doors to a private, forested deck. Main-level family room (easily used as a main level bedroom) has a gas line ready fireplace and access to a beautiful 5-piece bath with full glass shower and standalone tub. Separate area for future built-ins. (id:61852)
